History of Anti-Semitism
Charles D. Isaacson, former music critic of tbe defunct New York Globe— the mall wbo was largely, responsible for mtich of the municipally sponsored con¬ certs, is writing a book.
The theme has nothing to do with mu¬ sic. It is our old friend, Anti-Semitism again. The book is to be a history oi the \'ariou5 movements against the Jews, the blood libels, the concoction of the Elilcrs of Zion conspiracy. Hitlcrism and the like.
A variation in others words of the motif recently elaborated by Hey wood Broun and George Britt in 'Christians Only."
Even Chief Rabbis Anti-Semitism is a long story, but it really is capable of great condensation, and the best condensation that I ever heard is the old wheeze. You remember it? I think it ran something like this: "The condition of the Jews is bad in Germany. In Hungary, it is even worse. < But in Romnanla it is not so bad. In Roumania, a Jew can even become chief rabbi."
I am not, of course, referring partic¬ ularly to Roumania. I am not posted on the day tp day barometer of anti- Semitism.
She Was a Communist Anti-Semitism is of course a horrid -sijcctre—and yet sometimes, when I think of what a peculiar sort of people we Jews are—well, I begin to lose some of my severity towards the anti-Semite. The other day, the writer of these lines passed that Hyde Parle of New York—Columbus Circle.
You have been there—;if you have been to New York. You have heard the soap boxers there—Ihe atheists, socialists, communists, single taxers, health cul- turists and what not.
There was a young woman speaking, on the occasion to which I refer. She spoke with a distinct foreign accent She was a commLnist. She was shouting—- "We Communists" in every other breath. And she was continually harping on "What this country needs." She was a Jewess.
Prophecy and Dignity Now, I have no objection to Jews oi* Jewesses being Communists. The truth is, that I am rattier glad to see that the radical movements, irrespective of what they are, contain so large a percentage of Jews. I think it shows intellectual vitality. I think it shows the prophetic spark. Our ancestors were the greatest prophets of the world. A Jewshould be a prophet Should be a Utopian. Should dream of the end of social injustice and the coming of world harmony. That's all right
Yet at the same time, docs it not seem a little queer for a person whose own accent is' foreign, to be telling a mob of natives what this country needs?
Wasn't it' possible for this Jewish Communist to give her, message without phrasing it in so objectionable aiway? Isn't it possible, too, for even a Com- nmtiist to- Qonvey his or her message without getting hysterical? Can't one be a prophet while practicing a little. re¬ straint?
Two Atheists Reference was made in this erudite, column last week to Dr. Isidore Singer's de,<!ir€ to put reli^on on a non-sectarian basis. Dr. Singer would abolish the synagogues, but confesses that he himself likes to go to "schul" occasionally. .
I should have told at the time, apropos of this, one of my favorite stories.
Two atheistic Jews were sitting dis¬ cussing atheism.
Said No, I: "There is no God, that is just a superstition." And he went on into a long discourse, essaying to prove the non-existence of a Deity.
"Sure," agreed No. 2, "there is no God, Who believes in God? Only fools, women and children."
And so they talked. In the midst of the talk, No. 1 drew an apple from his pocket and began to eat
"What about making a 'broche' before you cat?" asked No. 2. "What are you —a goy?"
"But there is no God—you said so yourself—why should I make a Broche?" "That has nothing to do with it," re¬ plied the other—"whether there is a God or there is no God—no Jew will. eat without making a broche."
Journalistic Boom Whatever may be the situation finan¬ cially, there would seem to be no literary depression in the House of Israel.
No less than two new journals are shortly to make their appearance. A weekly—sponsored by James Wise—to be called "Opinion" is expected io make its debut in November. John Smcrtenko, I am told, is to be managing editor, and Dr. Stephen S. Wise will pen the editori¬ als.
And during November—the Current Jewish Record—a digest of periodical Jewish literature, edited by Sidney Wal¬ lach, is also scheduled to make its.ap¬ pearance.
The Adiers* Experiment And even the Yiddish theatrical \vorId, whose (k'mise has been so long prognos¬ ticated, refuses to st^y down. While Thomashefsky has withdrawn from Broadway, Maurice Schwartz is still struggling bravely with his Yiddish pro¬ ductions in English,
The Adiers are trying a new twist on Broadway. Instead of attempting to give Yiddish shows in English, they are pro posing to take English shows and trans¬ late them into Yiddish,
Their first venture will be a translation of "The Royal Family"—the play deal¬ ing with the family history of tbe Bar- ryniores.
The Adiers, on tbe Yiddish stage, have
a career, not a little paralleling that of
Ihc Barrymores on the English stage.

OLD PIANO IS WANTED
FOR INMATE OP STATE
INSTITUTION
Mr. Edward J. Goodman, president of the Jewish Infants' Home of Ohio, nnd centra! Ohio chairman for the United Jewish Campaign for European Jewry some years ago, has received the following letter which is self-explanatory. The letter reads as follows:
Cincinnati, Ohio. Mr. Edward J. Goodman, 471 East Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio. My dear Ed:—
Knowing that your interests are my interests in doing a good turn for individ¬ uals who are worthy, I am therefore taking the liberty of writing to you about a young man by the name of Jake Schoenfeld, who is an inmate of the Feeble-minded Institute.
This young man shows talent as far as playing the piano, and as there was a piano at the Institute, he had the oppor¬ tunity of using it It so happens that the piano has been removed by its owner this past week. Jake is lost and is with¬ out recreation, as his only solace was to liave the use of a piano.
The thought occurred to me ttut you might be instrumental in securing an old piano for Jake, and I want io say that if this can be accomplished, it will be,serv¬ ing a worthwhile cause.
Assuring you of my appreciation, and with best regards, believe me to be Sincerely yours, (Signed) Gus H. Hilb, Pres., United Jewish Social Agencies.
Any individual or organization desiring to render this fine service by contributing a piano for tins unfortunate inmate, please communicate with Mr. Goodman or The Ohio Jewish Chronicle, Phone ADams 2954.

Colonial Office, Palestine
Administration Indicted by
Wise at Congrm Closing
Richards to Head Political Work and
Research; ResnIutions bn Poland,
Kusisia, Germany
IfHILADELPHiA, Oct. 20--Aftcr listening to a severe indictment of tbe British Colonial Office and the P.'ilestlne Government by Dr. Stephen S. Wise and adopting resolutions aifecting the wel¬ fare of the Jews in Poland, Russia and Palestine, the night session of the Amer¬ ican' Jewish Congress was brought to a close last night with the elections of of¬ ficers to serve for the coming year.
Dr. Stephen S. Wise was re-elected as Honorary President, Bernard S. Deutsch as President and Dr. Joseph E. Tenen- baum as Chairman of the Executive Com¬ mittee.
Bernard G. Richards, whose office of Executive Se,crctary was abolished be¬ cause of tbe insistence of the faction representing the views of Dr. Stephen S. Wise, despite opposition by one fac¬ tion of delegates, was elected a member of the Administrative Committee and will be named head of the department of political work and research of the Con¬ gress, it was announced. This is one of three new departments to be inaugurated by the administrative committee, the others being deirartments of finance and organization.
Rabbi Wise's attack upon the Colftnial Office and Palestine Administration fol¬ lowed an. address by Louis Lipsky who reported on the progress of Palestine up¬ building. Emphasizing that the Chalut-- zim are creating new values and a^ new formulation of Jewish Life. Mr, Lipsky called for a greater measure of interest m Palestine on the part of American Jewry. Supplementing Mr. Lipsky's report, Rabbi Wise cliaracterized the Passfield White Paper as a "damnable document that shall live in the annals of infamy, and accused the Palestine government ot "subtly^ meanly and a^ressively inter¬ fering with Jewish Palestine upbuilding.'^ "If we had decent justice in Palestine," Rabbi Wise declared, "our population there might have been 280,000 or more instead of 180,000 now there,"
After paying tribute to the indomitable spirit of the Chalutzim, Rabbi Wise as¬ serted "that a thousand Passfields will not shake the Yishub. But the Yishnb would have been stronger under another administration." . '\
, By unanimous vote, the Convention tendered its felicitations to Lieutenant General Sir Arthur Grenfell Wauchope, the new Palestine High Commissibnei, and wished him success in his nevi? ad¬ ministration "hoping that he will make a substantial contribution to the prog¬ ress of the Jewish National Home, maiiitainihg peace, restoring confidence and effectively establishing the mandate in letter and in spirit as the basis of governmental administration in the land." Felicitatiqns were also extended,to Dr. Nahum Sokolow upon his presidency of the World Zionist Organization and the Jewish Agency.
Ask Aid to Zionists in Present
Emergency Another resolution referring to Pales¬ tine, pointed to the severe difficulties in continuing Zionist w6rk in the country because of the economic depression and called the -Congress members, in co¬ operation with world Jewry, to active support and substantial sacrifice in meet¬ ing the present emergency that faces the builders in Palestine.
The Convention in a resolution adopt¬ ed, deplored the tendency to discriminate against Jewish applicants for employment in the fields of economic activity.
Referring to the situation in Germany, its resolution stated that it "viev/ed wi*h alarm the growing tide of anti-Scmitis^n in Germany and expressed its confidence :ii the ability and the will of the German people to, suppress these unwarranted at¬ tacks."
The failure of the Polish government to relieve the unendurable economic sit¬ uation of its Jewish citizens was strong¬ ly ^eplorcd, and the resolution adopted pointed out that the Jews are still sub¬ ject to economic discrimination, exces¬ sive taxation and prohibitive industrial laws. The government of the Polish Republic was called upon "to fulfill her obligations under her international trea¬ ties which stipulated complete equality and justice to all elements of her popu¬ lation."
The Convention noted "with satisfac¬ tion that the Soviet Government has found it wise to abolish the Yevsekti^a" and regards with a sense of. relief the reports emanating from Russia that there has been some relentment in the rigorous persecution of that country. "The Con¬ gress, however," continues the resolution "still finds evidence of repression of re¬ ligious liberty and particularly of the per¬ secution of Zionists who are still .sub¬ jected to the worst methods of terrorism by the Soviet political police, and appeals to the Soviet Government to heed.the dic¬ tates of humanity and to carry f nirther the policy of moderation whicb it has inaug¬ urated with reference to the treatment of its Jewish citizens wbo harbor no dis¬ loyalty to the Soviets, but who merely de¬ sire lo practice their Jewish religion and ideals unmolested." The following officers were elected:

History of Anti-Semitism
Charles D. Isaacson, former music critic of tbe defunct New York Globe— the mall wbo was largely, responsible for mtich of the municipally sponsored con¬ certs, is writing a book.
The theme has nothing to do with mu¬ sic. It is our old friend, Anti-Semitism again. The book is to be a history oi the \'ariou5 movements against the Jews, the blood libels, the concoction of the Elilcrs of Zion conspiracy. Hitlcrism and the like.
A variation in others words of the motif recently elaborated by Hey wood Broun and George Britt in 'Christians Only."
Even Chief Rabbis Anti-Semitism is a long story, but it really is capable of great condensation, and the best condensation that I ever heard is the old wheeze. You remember it? I think it ran something like this: "The condition of the Jews is bad in Germany. In Hungary, it is even worse. < But in Romnanla it is not so bad. In Roumania, a Jew can even become chief rabbi."
I am not, of course, referring partic¬ ularly to Roumania. I am not posted on the day tp day barometer of anti- Semitism.
She Was a Communist Anti-Semitism is of course a horrid -sijcctre—and yet sometimes, when I think of what a peculiar sort of people we Jews are—well, I begin to lose some of my severity towards the anti-Semite. The other day, the writer of these lines passed that Hyde Parle of New York—Columbus Circle.
You have been there—;if you have been to New York. You have heard the soap boxers there—Ihe atheists, socialists, communists, single taxers, health cul- turists and what not.
There was a young woman speaking, on the occasion to which I refer. She spoke with a distinct foreign accent She was a commLnist. She was shouting—- "We Communists" in every other breath. And she was continually harping on "What this country needs." She was a Jewess.
Prophecy and Dignity Now, I have no objection to Jews oi* Jewesses being Communists. The truth is, that I am rattier glad to see that the radical movements, irrespective of what they are, contain so large a percentage of Jews. I think it shows intellectual vitality. I think it shows the prophetic spark. Our ancestors were the greatest prophets of the world. A Jewshould be a prophet Should be a Utopian. Should dream of the end of social injustice and the coming of world harmony. That's all right
Yet at the same time, docs it not seem a little queer for a person whose own accent is' foreign, to be telling a mob of natives what this country needs?
Wasn't it' possible for this Jewish Communist to give her, message without phrasing it in so objectionable aiway? Isn't it possible, too, for even a Com- nmtiist to- Qonvey his or her message without getting hysterical? Can't one be a prophet while practicing a little. re¬ straint?

FOR INMATE OP STATE
INSTITUTION
Mr. Edward J. Goodman, president of the Jewish Infants' Home of Ohio, nnd centra! Ohio chairman for the United Jewish Campaign for European Jewry some years ago, has received the following letter which is self-explanatory. The letter reads as follows:
Cincinnati, Ohio. Mr. Edward J. Goodman, 471 East Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio. My dear Ed:—
Knowing that your interests are my interests in doing a good turn for individ¬ uals who are worthy, I am therefore taking the liberty of writing to you about a young man by the name of Jake Schoenfeld, who is an inmate of the Feeble-minded Institute.
This young man shows talent as far as playing the piano, and as there was a piano at the Institute, he had the oppor¬ tunity of using it It so happens that the piano has been removed by its owner this past week. Jake is lost and is with¬ out recreation, as his only solace was to liave the use of a piano.
The thought occurred to me ttut you might be instrumental in securing an old piano for Jake, and I want io say that if this can be accomplished, it will be,serv¬ ing a worthwhile cause.
Assuring you of my appreciation, and with best regards, believe me to be Sincerely yours, (Signed) Gus H. Hilb, Pres., United Jewish Social Agencies.
Any individual or organization desiring to render this fine service by contributing a piano for tins unfortunate inmate, please communicate with Mr. Goodman or The Ohio Jewish Chronicle, Phone ADams 2954.

Colonial Office, Palestine
Administration Indicted by
Wise at Congrm Closing
Richards to Head Political Work and
Research; ResnIutions bn Poland,
Kusisia, Germany
IfHILADELPHiA, Oct. 20--Aftcr listening to a severe indictment of tbe British Colonial Office and the P.'ilestlne Government by Dr. Stephen S. Wise and adopting resolutions aifecting the wel¬ fare of the Jews in Poland, Russia and Palestine, the night session of the Amer¬ ican' Jewish Congress was brought to a close last night with the elections of of¬ ficers to serve for the coming year.
Dr. Stephen S. Wise was re-elected as Honorary President, Bernard S. Deutsch as President and Dr. Joseph E. Tenen- baum as Chairman of the Executive Com¬ mittee.
Bernard G. Richards, whose office of Executive Se,crctary was abolished be¬ cause of tbe insistence of the faction representing the views of Dr. Stephen S. Wise, despite opposition by one fac¬ tion of delegates, was elected a member of the Administrative Committee and will be named head of the department of political work and research of the Con¬ gress, it was announced. This is one of three new departments to be inaugurated by the administrative committee, the others being deirartments of finance and organization.
Rabbi Wise's attack upon the Colftnial Office and Palestine Administration fol¬ lowed an. address by Louis Lipsky who reported on the progress of Palestine up¬ building. Emphasizing that the Chalut-- zim are creating new values and a^ new formulation of Jewish Life. Mr, Lipsky called for a greater measure of interest m Palestine on the part of American Jewry. Supplementing Mr. Lipsky's report, Rabbi Wise cliaracterized the Passfield White Paper as a "damnable document that shall live in the annals of infamy, and accused the Palestine government ot "subtly^ meanly and a^ressively inter¬ fering with Jewish Palestine upbuilding.'^ "If we had decent justice in Palestine," Rabbi Wise declared, "our population there might have been 280,000 or more instead of 180,000 now there,"
After paying tribute to the indomitable spirit of the Chalutzim, Rabbi Wise as¬ serted "that a thousand Passfields will not shake the Yishub. But the Yishnb would have been stronger under another administration." . '\
, By unanimous vote, the Convention tendered its felicitations to Lieutenant General Sir Arthur Grenfell Wauchope, the new Palestine High Commissibnei, and wished him success in his nevi? ad¬ ministration "hoping that he will make a substantial contribution to the prog¬ ress of the Jewish National Home, maiiitainihg peace, restoring confidence and effectively establishing the mandate in letter and in spirit as the basis of governmental administration in the land." Felicitatiqns were also extended,to Dr. Nahum Sokolow upon his presidency of the World Zionist Organization and the Jewish Agency.
Ask Aid to Zionists in Present
Emergency Another resolution referring to Pales¬ tine, pointed to the severe difficulties in continuing Zionist w6rk in the country because of the economic depression and called the -Congress members, in co¬ operation with world Jewry, to active support and substantial sacrifice in meet¬ ing the present emergency that faces the builders in Palestine.
The Convention in a resolution adopt¬ ed, deplored the tendency to discriminate against Jewish applicants for employment in the fields of economic activity.
Referring to the situation in Germany, its resolution stated that it "viev/ed wi*h alarm the growing tide of anti-Scmitis^n in Germany and expressed its confidence :ii the ability and the will of the German people to, suppress these unwarranted at¬ tacks."
The failure of the Polish government to relieve the unendurable economic sit¬ uation of its Jewish citizens was strong¬ ly ^eplorcd, and the resolution adopted pointed out that the Jews are still sub¬ ject to economic discrimination, exces¬ sive taxation and prohibitive industrial laws. The government of the Polish Republic was called upon "to fulfill her obligations under her international trea¬ ties which stipulated complete equality and justice to all elements of her popu¬ lation."
The Convention noted "with satisfac¬ tion that the Soviet Government has found it wise to abolish the Yevsekti^a" and regards with a sense of. relief the reports emanating from Russia that there has been some relentment in the rigorous persecution of that country. "The Con¬ gress, however," continues the resolution "still finds evidence of repression of re¬ ligious liberty and particularly of the per¬ secution of Zionists who are still .sub¬ jected to the worst methods of terrorism by the Soviet political police, and appeals to the Soviet Government to heed.the dic¬ tates of humanity and to carry f nirther the policy of moderation whicb it has inaug¬ urated with reference to the treatment of its Jewish citizens wbo harbor no dis¬ loyalty to the Soviets, but who merely de¬ sire lo practice their Jewish religion and ideals unmolested." The following officers were elected:
